It was a good year for my me and my son. Here we are in the final days of 2009, and we are healthy, happy, and just a bit more well-traveled. Yes, I’d have to say it was a fantastic year. So as I sit here with my pom-pom slippers-pondering my good fortune-I think it’s appropriate to share my joy with the world. Today I’m going to my blogging mountaintop to post forth my travel blessings.
I searched the blog for some of my favorite posts. I have to admit that I’m proud of how I captured these travel moments, happy that I decided to dabble in the world of blogging, and looking forward to another year. (You’ve been warned!)
Sometimes they were blessings in disguise, otherwise known as the story of my life.
- Here’s a little story of an unexpected road trip moment: Red Dawn on I-5 I will always remember my sleepy kid in the back seat, waking up and uttering: “The sun is a big red ball, mami!”.
- And I found that sometimes I can come up with posts even when I’m swamped and under pressure. I wrote this one in a hotel room in February: When Maps Fall Into the Wrong Hands.
- Being a travel blogger means that I need to get out there as much as possible. So you can imagine my frustration when a long awaited trip was detoured in: Surviving a Sickation.
Sometimes I got a bit sappy about it.
- In August we sat on the beach in Kauai and I was gifted a heart : The Fuzzy Moments.
- This Snorkel Dream is just one of the reasons why I travel with my kid, despite all the trouble.
And there was always adventure to be found.
- Sometimes all you have to do is lay down and stare up at the sky in: The Monarchs Are Back.
- Even in the midst of the worst California traffic and crowds, you can find awesome beauty: Postcard From Yosemite.
I have a video camera and I know how to use it. Apologies.
- You may not like burritos for dinner, but you’re sure to love this Maui Sunset in: Burritos on the Beach.
- Look it’s a little LEGO President Obama.
And now for one more appreciation: you. Thanks to all of you who have stopped by to visit, contributed with your comments, and gave me a reason to keep up with the challenging task of maintaining a blog. You’ve helped make this a memorable year for me.
Happy New Year (and old year too). I like how it looks from your mountain top.
Thanks Meg. I’m liking the view up here, I must say.
Happy New Year! I have enjoyed reading your blog through the year and I look forward to reading more! Enjoy your mountain vacations!
Happy New Year to you and your family!!!
I love to read the year-in-review. I’m thinking about doing one myself but can’t find any time or motivation to sit down and do a proper post.
One thing I always enjoy about your posts is that you know how to lighten the message and make it fun. I rarely finished reading without a smile or chuckle (which is right up my alley!
. Looking forward to reading more in 2010.
